Talaka

Talaka is a game that lives and breathes Brazilian culture in watercolor art form. Everything is ink-based to make you feel like playing a beautiful watercolor painting. It shows an outstanding culture that most of the world still doesn't even know exists, and we seek to change that with our game.

Pocket Forest

Pocket Forest is a match 3 game where you can move the board freely with a limited amount of moves. Match any 3 identical tiles to merge them into one, which can be matched with another 2, and so on. Also tiles interact with each other: Water tiles irrigate around them when matched. Plant tiles produce fruit when they are irrigated. And animal tiles eat fruit from nearby plants. All of these give you points, which are needed to unlock a mystery egg (reward) at the end of the round.

Hexland Heroes

Hexland Heroes is a grid-based strategy-puzzle game inspired by hardcore 4X games, but boiled down to short and sweet puzzles. The goal is to rescue your allies and close the enemy’s portals. If you run out of turns, one of your characters is destroyed, or one of your bases is conquered, you lose!
